Hi Mandy.
It's the 4th generation 8GB and 16GB Nano's that are accessible. I don't use
I-Tunes to rip CD's as I'd already got a very large collection of MP3 files
before I-Tunes was anywhere near useable with screen readers. I imagine it
will rip directly into the I-Tunes folder that is created in your "My Music"
folder when you install I-Tunes.
I manage music manually on the Nano and continue to rip using media player and
then just copy and paste the albums I want to listen to onto the Nano. Once
you've got everything set up it really couldn't be easier. You need to beware
of recent I-Tunes releases though as they have just released their most
inaccessible version of the software as far as JAWS is concerned anyway. I'm
using version 8.0 with JAWS 9 and not using the J-Tunes scripts, I don't need
them as I don't use I-Tunes on my computer as a library or player, I have
better programs for that purpose.
Regards.
Kevin

Hi Kevin, is it just as easy using the Nano to transfer music from CD, and is
it the 8 and 16 gig Ipods that are accessible, I've only recently thought of
getting one so haven't read mail about it before, any information would be
greatly received.

To be fair, transferring music to an IPOD Nano using windows is a doddle, you
don't need a niche operating system to do it. You don't even have to use
Apple's I-Tunes player. Once you've told I-Tunes that you want to manage your
music manually then it's a simple case of browsing your music using windows
explorer, copying using control + C and then alt tabbing into the I-Tunes
windows where you paste your music onto your Nano. What could be easier than
that?
If you want to play with I-Tunes then you can keep your collection in the
I-Tunes library and either sync the lot if you've got less than 16GB of music
or sync selected playlists. I can't believe that's any easier on the Mac than
it is on windows.
Regards.

Rog, there you have it mate - the problem is itunes working with windows
not transferring .mp3 files which as you correctly say can be moved to any
removable media using windows exploder. What the original poster never said
is if the end user has an Apple machine running itunes - in which case plug in
the ipod and within the files menu select sync then sit back and Robert, as
they say, is your mother's brother!
The difficulty begins when you try and do the simple thing on a windows box
and that is why friends I am sitting on an Apple mac book and have an ipod
nano. :-)

What then Roger is the need from other contributors who say it would be
helpful if they had the name of the iPod and tht to know about iTunes is
necessary. I think my friend must know about iTunes because she does listen to
music on the playher.
